Summary:

Achieve Charter School of Paradise Inc. is a public charter school serving 123 students in grades K-8 in Paradise, California. The school has faced significant challenges, with test scores well below the state average and a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate.

Achieve Charter School of Paradise Inc. has consistently underperformed compared to nearby schools in the Chico Unified School District. For example, Sierra View Elementary, just 0.83 miles away, outperforms Achieve Charter School of Paradise Inc. across all test scores and student subgroups. The school's low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and large proportion of low-socioeconomic status students may be contributing to its struggles.

Over time, Achieve Charter School of Paradise Inc.'s performance has been inconsistent, ranking in the top 25% of California elementary schools in 2020-2021 but dropping to the bottom 50% in the following years. The school's small size and unique demographic composition may present both opportunities and challenges in providing a high-quality educational experience for its students. Addressing these issues will be crucial for the Achieve Charter School of Paradise Inc. District to improve and ensure its students receive an equitable and effective education.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
